Regular expression problem

Dan
I'm trying to remove the word 'AND' (apostrophes included) from a string but
can't seem to get the correct expression.

I've got:

Dim regRemove As New System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("\b'AND'\b")
Dim strInput As String = "One 'AND' Two"
Response.Write(regRemove.Replace(strInput, ""))

But it doesn't work. Do the apostrophes in my regex need to be escaped?
I've tried \' and '' but to no avail.

Any ideas?

Thanks
